1209: How To Stop Giving Fear Power Over Your Life by Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog
Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares how to stop giving fear power over your life.Episode 1209: How To Stop Giving Fear Power Over Your Life by Katie Ping of More Of What Matters BlogKatie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.The original post is located here: http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/how-to-stop-giving-fear-power/Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
